Genesys User Manual - AMS Neve

The Computer Cassette
IMPORTANT:
Before powering up the console, please connect an external monitor
screen to the VGA 2 connector. The console software cannot be used
without a screen connected.
Ethernet
Standard Ethernet port, used for internet connection to download new
software releases and DAW control.
USB
USB Flash drive/stick connectivity (for backing up and recalling snapshots
etc.). Additional USB keyboard/mouse connectivity (Microsoft Windows
compatible keyboard/mouse recommended). There is also another USB
port on the Master Meter panel for ease of access.
MIDI In/Out
Not used.
External Keyboard (PS2 connector)
If more functionality is required than the fitted keyboard provides, an
external keyboard can be used instead.
Mouse (PS2 connector)
Connects to the console glide pad.
LTC (Timecode In)
If the console does not have the Automation option fitted, this ensures the
screen can display an external timecode source as it runs. If the
Automation option is fitted, it is this time-line that automation events are
written against, along with MTC. With regard to timecode, the console
only ever acts as a slave.
VGA 1
This connector is only available on cassettes which have it. On power-up
the computer will boot onto this VGA port, then switch over to VGA 2
automatically. If for any reason Windows does not show up on VGA 2
after several minutes after power-up then connect a monitor to VGA 1 to
diagnose any start up issues (see page 18 for more).
VGA 2
Provides the graphics output for use with an external monitor. This is the
default connector for use with the Genesys software and Windows.
Reset Button
Used when you need to reset the computer without removing the power to
the rest of the console.
